[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 64222, member: 1550"] Difficulty with transitions are also a big red flag for possible Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). How are his social skills? Does he understand how to have a normal conversation--that it's give and take and not just monologing on his part? Will he only talk about his own interests or does he understand social niceties? Did he have speech delays or motor skills or potty problems? My son would also probably throw a fit if he couldn't play his videogames--they are his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) obsession. Videogames and computers are huge obsessions for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids, moreso than the normal kid. I'd see a neuropsychologist. It's a very intensive evaluation and, in my opinion, every difficult child should have one. No other professional attempts to test all levels of function in so much detail. It can give you a world of info on why your child is acting out. If it's new, maybe it's the transitions and stimulation at camp. [/QUOTE]
